Chiefs resume normal practice schedule this week

The Kansas City Chiefs are back at their home facilities this week following a successful training camp in St. Joseph, Missouri.

With the return to 1 Arrowhead Drive, the Chiefs will also resume a more regular practice schedule. No more dorm life for the players and coaching staff. It’s essentially a rehearsal for the types of things they’ll be doing during the practice week in the regular season. For many of the players on the 90-man roster, this will be the only time they get to experience that with the Chiefs.

“Well, you get more into an in-season mode,” Reid said. “You practice in the afternoon as opposed to morning and you set your schedule up where it is a dry run, not that you are going to increase plays because you are not, but you still keep it vanilla and go through the process as you would in a regular week. Now will we keep installing stuff, yes, we will keep installing new stuff, that is what we do. We kind of blend it all together, but the main schedule is what they see during the regular season.”

So the Chiefs won’t stop installing plays and doing some of the things that they do specifically at training camp. They’ll ease their way back into the habits they need to get into for the upcoming season. I’m certain the players are excited to get back into the swing of things back on their home turf.

Their first practice begins this afternoon. You can tell that there is just a little excitement in the air, with the players and coaches knowing that the 2019 season is just around the corner.
